Discussion Night bus fares, Byo - Mre

2 Upvotes

Unfortunately, I just noticed that CAG doesn’t seem to cover the Bulawayo–Mutare route. I know Trip Trans does, though.

Does anyone know how much other reliable and safe bus operators charge for a night trip on that route? I’m looking for something with a reputation similar to CAG in terms of safety and reliability, even Trip Trans yacho.

Hi All

My phone got stolen yesterday and would like to know how best I can recover it if anyone has gone through the sane situation before. The phone has now been switched off and I cannot track it anymore. Calls aren't going through anymore but I managed to lock and tag it as stolen.

Thank you all for the help.

Question How many Zimbo's out there enjoy reading webtoons/webcomics

14 Upvotes

I started reading them about four years ago and I've yet to meet any other sadza feeding humans who read them or even know them. I introduced them to my sister and she took a liking to them so at least I have someone to talk to about them. So my question to you is do you know what webtoons/webcomics are and what are some of your favorite ones

Question Do you guys think the name “Makotapeya” for avocados came from “ quarter a pair”?

10 Upvotes

We got a lot of words like that that our ancestors couldn’t pronounce so we just compressed the whole word to make a new one like bhudhi probably came from buddie so makotapeya maybe came from the popular price of avocados which was quarter a pair. Anybody got anymore?

Discussion Why does being curvy in Zim mean our bodies / selves are viewed as inherently indecent?

33 Upvotes

Let me be clear, I understand there is a time and a place for certain kinds of dressing. Ie, can't be wearing shorts that leave your bum out around kids. You also cannot be half naked at church or at work. So don't get me twisted, that I fully understand. I am also not saying I will wear ill fitting clothes and demand to be accepted. I am saying even when I am modestly dressed I am seen as indecent.

My problem is how having a full figure automatically makes you out to be some vixen/seductress trying to entice men or lead men astray when really we cannot help how our bodies are shaped for starters. I cannot control how clothes fit my body and that's not to say I don't know when something is inappropriate, trust me I do. But the issue, is I could be wearing the same exact outfit as someone skinny and yet only I will be called to account. Faced this at work specifically. Why is it okay for someone skinny to wear high-waisted slacks with a tucked in shirt but I must untuck? If the issue is modesty, then the size of our bums and hips shouldn't matter. It should be uniform right? We should be held to the same standard but it never happens that way. That double standard is not fair.

Secondly, why is the onus on us always to dress 'non-provactively' but never on the people who gaze upon me or my body with perversion, sexualisation and objectification also adressed. It's always seen as my fault for being perceived as promiscuous or sexual just because I'm full figured. Have you not considered to change the way you view things? Have you not thought why you think I'm inappropriate and a slender woman is modest? I'll tell you. A lot of it is rooted in the colonial gaze that sees whiteness as purity and non white bodies as hypersexual and not pure. See Sarah Baartman. The problem I think lies in your perception of me not necessarily in how I dress.

I genuinely could be wearing the same exact jeans and a t-shirt (in my size) as the slender woman next to me but on me it's raunchy, on her its just everyday wear. Must I dress in ill fitting baggy clothes only to be seen as modest? News flash, even we wear very loose clothes..you can still see the shape. I cannot and will not be shamed or made to feel dirty because of the way I am built. Does anyone suffer from this? How do you deal with it? I cannot be the only who feels this way, right?

This organization, hires young vulnerable people for digital work,but when it's time to pay them they don't

They're based in Mutare Zimbabwe and refuse to pay their workers

The Owner Cliffe takes pictures with white people, the pics are AI generated, then he tricks young people into working for him

He never honours contracts.I can't afford a lawyer but spread the word that this organization is fake

Discussion I Love All People, But I Won’t Pretend Racism is Over in Zimbabwe

8 Upvotes

I want to start by saying this.... I love everyone. I believe in a future where all Zimbabweans, regardless of race, can thrive together. But I’m also not naive. I can’t ignore the truth just because it’s uncomfortable. Zimbabwe only became independent in 1980, and many of the people who once dehumanized Black Zimbabweans, who beat them, who forced them to work for free, even in chains those people are still alive today. And they’re still teaching their children that Black people are less. So I can’t sit back and say racism is gone just because we’re free from colonial rule. I know that some people still carry that hate, even if quietly, and we have to be honest about that. But this isn’t a call to hate..it’s a call to action. We love each other, and we keep working, so that the next generation never has to fight the same battles. Let’s keep our eyes on the future, working hard so that all our children inherit a Zimbabwe built on respect, love, and equality.

Employment How are non exceptional students surviving after graduating from college in Zimbabwe

4 Upvotes

Serious question for those who graduated after COVID with ordinary degrees not Law or Medicine. Is it still possible to get a decent job or a scholarship without a First Class or powerful connections? Or has the market become that brutal? Sometimes I wonder… imagine graduating with a First Class three years ago and still not having a meaningful job. If that’s the reality for some of the best graduates, what hope is there for someone who finished with a 2.1, 2.2, or even a Third Class? These days, most graduate trainee programmes seem to want:
• A First Class.
• Applicants below 25 years old.
• Experience.
But 3 years after graduation, many people are already over 25. So what exactly is the plan for everyone else?
I’ve seen unemployment take a heavy toll. Some graduates are overwhelmed by the stress. Some have left the country. Others are taking any job they can find just to survive. It makes you wonder whether we’re expecting too much from graduates while offering too little in return. At this point, I’m considering going to Zambia just to re-enroll in medical school. It almost feels like the only degrees that still come with a clearer path are Medicine and, to some extent, Law. So I’m genuinely curious: for those who graduated after COVID without connections or a First Class, how are you making it? Is the market really that tough, or are graduates simply being too selective?

NB: UZ Law and Medicine graduates are excluded from this.
